SKU On Shipping Label
On Settings => Printers & Scales, you have a checkbox to add "sku on shipping label". When this checkbox is checked (this can be shipping profile specific):
- For US domestic shipping labels, Teapplix ActionShip will place a user customizable string onto the shipping label, this defaults to the SKU of the order, but can be many other values as described later in this page.
- For US to international shipping labels with a built-in customs form, ActionShip will append [ SKU ] into each customs description line. Example of such labels include USPS First Class International, USPS Priority Mail International, and the commercial invoice of UPS and FedEx, etc.
- For US to international shipping label without a customs form, where customs information is uploaded electronically, ActionShip treats the label as a domestic label and put the SKU on the label itself. The electronic uploaded information will not contain the SKU.
Customizing the String Placed on US Domestic Labels
The SKU by default is sku [x qty], as a space separated list. However, the content of this can be changed using a macro language: bbcode. In this bbcode, you can add newlines, change fonts / styles, and add different "data elements":
(Note that most labels only have about 2-3 lines of white space, so too much content will cause the additional lines to not display)
Below are some of the bbcodes:
| These are order level values: | What it is: |
| {SKU} | Spaces separated sku[xqty] list, the [xqty] part is only added when quantity is greater than 1. All combos are expanded to the base SKU. Notice that this field can also be hand edited on the "rates & options" screen, including for each extra package. If you saved values there, then Actionship will use whatever value you saved instead. |
| {ORDER_ID} | ActionShip Order ID. This is typically the original order id from channels. However, for certain channels or carts where "store key" is entered. ActionShip may have added a prefix to the original order id. |
| {ORIG_ORDER_ID} | Original Order ID. This is the original order id from channels without prefix. For example, for commerce hub this will be the PO number without the ch-{channel} prefix. |

The content depends on what is in XXXX,YYYY,ZZZZ. AAAA BBBB CCCC will control the character length of each column. KKKK,LLLL,MMMM will control text align of column (Use LEFT,CENTER or RIGHT). For example {ITEM_TABLE LIST="SKU,QUANTITY,LOCATION" MAXLENGTH="25,2,13"} |
